I have just noticed a hole in the carbon fibre on the underneath of the bottom bracket of my Cube Attain SL Disc brake.... hadn't noticed it before now?

May have gotten a belt of a stone I can't remember.

Is it definitely a manufacturing flaw?

I was thinking drainage too. But in fairness it's not exactly circular and the gear cables are right beside it. Surely the holes for the gears would be enough for drainage.
